ITS stands for Intelligent Transport Systems and Services and is the integration of information and communications technologies with transport infrastructure, vehicles and users. The intelligence in the transport system (for both people and goods on roads, rails, water and by air) is created by deploying ICT-solutions supporting travelers, vehicles and the transport infrastructure (road / rail). The overall purpose of ITS is to improve safety & security, increase efficiency and reduce environmental impact, of the transport systems. Due to the obvious mobility of vehicles and travelers, mobile communication will be a critical enabler of ITS-solutions.
Purpose
The overall purpose of the Ericsson participation on the congress is to position the mobile infrastructure and services as the major communication platform for ITS services. Sensors and devices in the transport systems is also part of Ericsson’s 2020-vision to connect 50 billion devices through mobile broadband.
Our global presence and our technical leadership in products and services for Mobile and Wireline Networks, together with our end-to-end capabilities and existing Telco relations, will position us as a strong partner for fast deployment of ITS solutions.
Target Groups
Our target groups for this event includes National Road Administrations, Road Operators, Automotive industry and suppliers (as providers of integrated communication capabilities in the car), Public Transport operators, Regulators ITS suppliers and Telecom Operators as they are expected to play an important role in the realization of ITS solutions.
